Dark roads aid movement but increase mortality of a generalist herbivore in the American Southwest

The data provided here are the final datasets used as input in the primary models created for the manuscript “Dark roads aid movement but increase mortality of a generalist herbivore in the American Southwest”. These data were pre-processed as described in the manuscript. They include values derived from GPS-collared mule deer. GPS location data are owned by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. In Utah, mule deer are a legally protected species. As such, raw location data are considered proprietary and protected under state law. Data are not publically available except through a Government Records Access and Management Act request (GRAMA), under provisions stipulated by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (https://wildlife.utah.gov/grama.html). Data files are provided as CSVs, which can be opened in a variety of programs, including Microsoft Excel, RStudio, or any basic text editor. README files sharing the name of each CSV are provided to describe their columns. Data Files Included: Input to the winter seasonal road crossing models: road_xing_winter573m.csv (README_road_xing_winter573m.txt) Input to the summer seasonal road crossing models: road_xing_summer573m.csv (README_road_xing_summer573m.txt) Input to the winter seasonal road mortality models: road_mortality_winter573m.csv (README_road_mortality_winter573m.txt) Input to the summer seasonal road mortality models: road_mortality_summer573m.csv (README_road_mortality_summer573m.txt)
